Description

Following code

      # match a line starting like the key something
      "$(index)\s*=.*" 
      edit_field => col("=","2","$($(tab)[$(sectionName)][$(index)])","set"),
      select_region => INI_section(escape("$(sectionName)")),
      classes => results("bundle", "set_variable_values_ini_not_$(cindex[$(index)])"),
      ifvarclass => "edit_$(cindex[$(index)])";

fails to evaluate correctly the name of the section with our modified cfengine agent
With vanilla 3.10.2 agent, it works flawlessly

Workaround can be to use temporary var, but it's a huge job to rewrite everything, and other methods are also likely to fail
